Movie - Philosophical and Psychological Views 21 Black Jack, the number, deception, lies, games, Las Vegas, stupidity and Kevin Spacy is the dish of this "21" movie. But behind the scenes there are more than meet the eye! What philosophy has to say about the whole thing? The figures, games compared to life, cheating and more ...
Numbers
Numbers philosophically, are not real. What one or two? what is three? that our perception of these figures in brackets, in fact, these figures are meaningless. The numbers are surreal masks materialistic vision that we have in life. We can not go without counting, the figures have become the main course of the day. From reading the time and money. But those who make no sense, it seems that we have invented everything we could have something to be concerned, or in a word, entertainment.
Imagine a world without number, you can immediately see how annoying it is. People need money, time and numbers to make life interesting.
Many thinkers believe that the numbers were invented only because of money. Now, we all may pay by a number without real money. Money is the number of those days, card credit card debt and the cards whatsoever. So do the numbers of control of our lives to this point? Yes. We can not live with it, can not imagine a life without number. Even our computer systems work on the numbers 1 or 0.
Games and numbers - life as a game
Games are the most playing time each game you play, whether life, money or your dignity. If you play the game of catch you on your ONE skin. Being the guy who is in fact the recipient might be a very humbling experience. People, your friends might tease you, call you names until you catch one of them.
When you play basketball, you play. For some, next to put money on the table is macho to be a winner. The loser goes home as ... the loser until the next time. And next time winner bet on his own reputation.
More and more we realize that every moment of life is a gamble. Would you go to work today? Would you read until the end of the article or you have a job? Gamble.
Many philosophers present life as a game great. Woody Allen believes that life is like going to a casino in Las Vegas, you come with play money and losing in the end, but that does not mean you do not have fun ...
Why Las Vegas
Las Vegas is the place where dreams become reality. But is it? The relationship between Vegas and our life is very simple - money. People see Vegas as a place insane. A playground, joy and relaxation. But in fact quite the opposite! In Vegas has to come from the people away from something. But in fleeing, they could move things even worse.
The concept of Easy Money
Is it easy money? Yes, but the main thing is that people can not except, that is why people who win the lottery lose all their money faster, then they got it! People think being rich in one day is too good to be true and prove that they make decisions so much shit and lose all their money.
In "21" is the same thing, be rich, winning has its own consequences. But where does it come from? Cheaters unconscious is that which made him caught. As he began to win big time, his thoughts jumped to levels of paranoia that small. Paranoia of getting caught, he visualizes being caught. So he did, to some extent his subconscious mind wanted - he was right, he will cough because there is no easy money. It is a difficult issue to understand. But if you do get it, you might find yourself to get rich and be ready for it. The main character of "21" was not ready so he got a cough. You can fool everyone but yourself.
